# Remote control

The Remote control app enables you to use your tablet device as a remote control by registering it as the remote control of various AV devices.

Hint

- If you cannot find the icon to start the app, look for it in the application launcher displayed by tapping [ Apps & Widgets] at the top right of the Home screen.

## Using your tablet device as a remote control

Following two kinds of remote control are available.

- “Full” remote control

You can operate the device by tapping the buttons, just like an ordinary IR remote control.

- “Gesture” remote control

This gives a new feel to remote control operations. The device reacts when it senses movement of your fingers such as tapping and flicking on the touch screen, no matter where on the screen you touch. That way, you can operate the device instinctively, without looking at the screen of your tablet device.

1. On the device list screen, tap the icon of the device that you want to control.

The remote control screen is displayed, and you can control the device by tapping the screen. When you tap the button on the top right of the remote control screen, you can switch between “gesture” and “full” remote control.
Hint

- The icon of the device appears at the top left of the remote control screen. By tapping buttons at the left and right of the icon, you can switch the device to be controlled.
